Description: A chilling descent into the abyss of the human psyche, that’s what "The Ghoul" (2017) truly is. Forget jump scares; this film burrows under your skin, leaving a lingering unease long after the credits roll. It's not the blood and gore that haunt you, but the unsettling ambiguity, the creeping sense of dread that permeates every frame. The film masterfully uses atmosphere to build tension, relying on unsettling visuals and a haunting soundscape to craft a truly disturbing experience. This isn’t a horror movie for the faint of heart; it’s a psychological exploration of isolation, trauma, and the darkness that dwells within. While the narrative treads familiar ground, the execution is masterful, leaving you questioning the nature of reality and the fragility of sanity. "The Ghoul" is a slow burn, a testament to the power of suggestion over spectacle, a film that will stay with you long after the lights come up. Seek it out if you dare.
